Posted on June 2nd, 2008

But plurk is more like Twitter than like a cheese log. For one thing, both plurk and twitter only allow 140-character posts. (Why that number? It’s not even a power of 2.) Plurk also enables some threading.

So, at the moment, I’m plurking. And twittering. And occasionally FaceBooking. And blogging. And overall successfully social networking myself around the work I’m supposed to be doing. [Tags: plurk twitter social_networks blogging ]

Plurk is like twitter, with dancing bananas and fewer people.

Plurk is so deliberately goofy that none of the typical Brand Me Personal Branding people have Established Their Personal Brand on it, carefully Burnishing their Image.

so beware
